Macs for Running LLMs Locally

Browse every Mac (MacBook, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, iMac) for running LLMs locally. Unified memory up to 512 GB; see compatible models and performance estimates.

Which Mac Can Run an LLM?

Apple Silicon Macs use unified memory shared between CPU and GPU, so the memory you buy is the memory a model can use. A 24 GB Mac runs 27B models at Q4, and a 128 GB Mac Studio loads 100B+ mixture-of-experts models; memory bandwidth (Pro, Max, Ultra chips) sets the speed.
